Elegantly restored home. Host quite knowledgeable about history of home as well as the Covington area. Breakfast & afternoon wine/cheese delightful. Much to do around & about Covington OR simply sit & rock on splendid porch.

Wow!

I can’t say enough about Twelve Oaks B&B. From the moment you walk in the door, you’re taken back to the old southern charm. From the antique furniture and decor, the hard wood floors that give a gentle creak as you walk through the rooms and admire the charming antebellum details, and the fantastically accommodating staff. They have worked so hard to make this historic house into a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the old world charm while enjoying the necessary modern amenities to make it absolutely comfortable( perfect temperatures , 5 star luxury bathrooms, and bedding that’s fit for royalty (which is what you feel like during you’re stay). We stayed in the Steel Magnola suite, and... oh my goodness... I’M IN LOVE!!! I look forward to the day I’m able to return and enjoy another stay. The breakfast was phenomenal! If I had to find anything to complain about, (and I’ve never stayed in a B&B before) would be sound proof. We couldn’t hear people in other rooms, but if they were in the hall you could hear a conversation. But everything else about this place more than made up for it.

Gracious antebellum experience

Delightful stay in gorgeous home. Our "In The Heat of The Night" was bright and cheerful. Beautiful crystal chandeliers throughout and we enjoyed our walk to cute downtown area.

We stayed at The Twelve Oaks for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. We were not disappointed! Beautiful antebellum estate, gorgeous antiques throughout, love the huge shower in The Frankly Scarlett Suite, well maintained grounds and home! The owner John is a fantastic 'chef'! Every breakfast was superbly delicious. Travis was so friendly. Great place to stay. Walking distance to Covington town square dining and shopping.

Loved it and will go back!

This is an unbelievable home, can't imagine who had lived here when it was built so long ago but it was worth it for the tour of the home alone. The staff was phenomenal!!! Great service and they were so attentive that it was impressive. My wife is gluten sensitive and they noticed it right away and then created a special meal for her right away and planned a great meal for her the following morning. It was a wow experience and the only thing I did not mark as five star was value and that is because it is expensive but they DELIVERED!!! I thought for the dollar amount it better be good and it was so my expectations were high and they met them!

Southern Comfort

My wife and I lived in Savannah for ten years before moving back to the Atlanta area and have stayed at numerous B&B's with historic value. Twelve Oaks is hands down THE best B&B we have stayed at. Every room has a unique charm and it's own perk. The details are amazing, we checked in early and enjoyed exploring the house. The staff is very courtious and knowledgeable. Travis was the caretaker during our visit, we enjoyed his hospitality and conversations. The food has the quality of fine dining (not to mention the wine and cheese platter in the evenings). We enjoyed taking the short walk to the square but were always in a hurry to get back to the house and our room. We will definitely be back. Trust me, there is no need to drive to Savannah to enjoy an historic B&B, the best one is just an hour from Atlanta. -Tim and Melani

Great anniversary trip!

My husband and I spent a weekend at Twelve Oaks, and we absolutely loved it! Cleanliness is extremely important to me, and our room/bathroom/bed was spotless! The bed was SO comfortable. We stayed in Suite Home Alabama which was WAY more spacious than we imagined. The home is beautifully renovated for being so historic. Check in and check out was simple. The staff was kind, the food was delicious, and we are recommending to friends!

Absolutely Beautiful!
